t: Behind that nose is a very large camel. The nose came in 1919. Head and neck - 1926. Front legs - 1940. We're getting pretty close to the hind quarter's here, and I think there's already too much momentum to stop the camel completely. As a pragmatic, the best that I can hope for is that us little guys can still afford to fly. Quite frankly, I have less sympathy for corporate Gulfstreams who use the system more than I do, weigh enough to make a difference on the runways, and probably are a more legitimate subject of the airline's complaint. In general, I don't think it would be a terrible idea to more clearly define GA as two classes - light single engines / twin aircraft and corporate / charter Jets. Most of the complaints of the public and airlines regarding security threats and tax advantages hold a different set of arguments with respect to the larger aircraft. One way to save yourself from the camel is to collect all your crap, move out and find a new tent before you wake up outside with nothing. |
